The workaround I'm using is to always record the first track of a loop into Repeater without playing. Then, when left and right loop point is fixed you can proceed with gitchfree recording on any of the four tracks. It's a hard trick to do this in front of an audience and still make some musical sense... > > 2. Ambient drones : Anyone tried this? Notice the 'clicks'.... I never get "clicks"... (see above) > 4.

I also disliked this initially but now I love it. With a midi floor controller you can set up different panning for different loops, which gives a dramatic effect when changing loop behind your playing. If you want the track based effects, why don't you set up your controller to send also a pitch/pan msg together with the "active track" msg?

Definitely! I use it slaved to an EDP and IMHO this combo rocks! Especially with the new Half Speed feature of the EDP. To bad you cannot change "8th/cycle" by midi with the new EDP loop4 OS. How cool would it be to step on a EDP button that kicks the Repeater into polyrhythmics!!! Best wishes Per Boysen ________________ http://loopboy.tk www.boysen.se www.upsweden.com www.fuzz.se
